LaDainian Tomlinson’s Partners with Albertsons Market

FORT WORTH, TX (October 20, 2012) — LaDainian Tomlinson’s Touching Lives Foundation is out to make a big difference for the Thanksgiving celebrations of North Texas’ needy families this year. At Albertsons Market stores spanning east from Cedar Hill, throughout Fort Worth and west to Weatherford, a $5 donation at the checkstand will help customers buy a Thanksgiving day meal for 2,100 local families in need.

“One of the key causes that Albertsons Market supports throughout the year is hunger relief, so to be able to partner with such an esteemed former NFL player and TCU Hall of Famer like LaDainian on this cause is a great honor,” said Wayne Denningham, president of the Southern division of Albertsons Market. “We’ve seen a significant change in the face of hunger over the last few years, and it’s been devastating to so many families. We know passionate people like LaDainian are catalysts in making positive changes, so we’re excited to see the results for this holiday season.”

“I am very excited and thankful to Albertsons Market for supporting me in the fight against hunger this holiday season,” said Tomlinson. “Being able to give these families in need here in North Texas a Thanksgiving meal is a great feeling, and I am hopeful it will help each of them kick off a very happy holiday season.”
